The user of this document is solely responsible to any use, direct or indirect, that might be made of this document.

Using this Documentgo top
The Situation & Outlook Report, a component of the Situation & Outlook, is a core ProximityOne information resource
providing insights into characteristics and trends of counties, metropolitan areas, states and the U.S.
The Report also provides a gateway to drill-down demographic, economic and business data
for smaller geographic areas.

Metropolitan areas
include approximately 94 percent of the U.S. population -- 85 percent in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs)
and 9 percent in micropolitan statistical areas (MISAs).

By definition, metropolitan areas are comprised of one or more contiguous counties. Metropolitan areas are not
single cities and typically include many cities.
Metropolitan areas are comprised of urban
and rural areas and often have large expanses of rural territory.
A business and demographic-economic synergy exists within each metro; metros often interact with adjacent metros.
The demographic-economic make-up of metros vary widely and change often.
See more about metros.

Principal Cities. The largest city in each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area is designated a "principal city."
Principal cities are designated by OMB based on Census-sourced data.
Additional cities qualify as principal cities if specified requirements are met concerning population size and employment.
The title of each metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area consists of the names of up to three of its principal cities
and the name of each state into which the metropolitan or micropolitan statistical area extends.
Titles of metropolitan divisions also typically are based on principal city names but in certain cases consist of county names.

One or more principal cities are designated within each Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and Micropolitan Statistical Area (MISA).
The term "principal city" is defined in the OMB "Standards for Delineating Metropolitan and Micropolitan Statistical Areas."
A principal city is an OMB designation applied to one or more incorporated places and/or census designated places (CDPs).
The OMB standards designate a Principal City (or Cities) of a Core-Based Statistical Area (CBSA) as determined by:
a) The largest incorporated place with a 2010 Census population of at least 10,000 in the CBSA or,
if no incorporated place of at least 10,000 population is present in the CBSA,
the largest incorporated place or census designated place in the CBSA; and
b) Additional places with 2010 Census population of at least 250,000 or in which 100,000 or more persons work; and
c) Additional places with 2010 Census population of 50,000-250,000,
and number of workers working in the place meets or exceeds the number of workers living in the place; and
d) Additional places with 2010 Census population of 10,000-50,000, and at least one-third the population size of the largest place,
and in which the number of workers working in the place meets or exceeds the number of workers living in the place.
